Arknights is too real, right?

It was perfect to hand over the Chamber of Commerce to Nanfeng. After following Fredo for so many years, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away. Nanfeng was quite familiar with the operation of the Chamber of Commerce.

What's more, he is the adopted grandson of the former gang leader Derek. He has no reputation in terms of prestige. In terms of military force, he is recognized as a gold medal fighter by the entire gang. He can be said to be the most suitable chamber of commerce for comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, body, art, and labor. The boss.

Of course, Xia Feng would not completely become a hands-off shopkeeper, because he soon discovered something.

Outsiders may not have noticed the news of Frido's destruction, but as peripheral members of the Chamber of Commerce in surrounding cities, the news has been quickly learned.

However, the strange thing is that, except for Hapi City, which Xia Feng had already held in his hands before, no person in charge of any city took the initiative to contact the new headquarters.

There are only two possibilities.

First, they cannot accept this result. Out of loyalty to Fredo, they do not recognize this new dynasty and want to organize people to retaliate and regain the headquarters.

Of course, no one can update Chunotin City's military strength more than them. They can overthrow the rule of this city overnight. All the surrounding peripheral cities combined may not have this strength. Fredo's destruction is already a certainty. Delusion Taking it back can only be said to be a suicidal act. Outer cities will not do this, so the possibility is almost zero.

Then, there is only the second possibility.

Just like Rich outside, although he is the local emperor of Happy City, he cannot get rid of the interference of the headquarters. To put it bluntly, whether it is the casino or the East District, he must share all the profits with the headquarters. Rich's heart It must have occurred to him that maybe it would be better for him if the headquarters didn't exist.

This is the second possibility. Taking advantage of this dynasty change, the bosses of all the peripheral cities want to completely break away from the Chamber of Commerce and establish themselves as kings in their respective cities. Like a giant octopus, the city of Notting turns out to be the brain, surrounded by The city is all its tentacles. Now that the brain has changed, all the tentacles want to break away and become new small octopuses.

Later, the attitude of the peripheral cities confirmed this possibility. Notting City was no longer a brain. Like all cities in the south, it had also become a bare octopus.

However, Xia Feng is the biggest octopus among all. He wants to take back what he has lost. Just like a hunter, he wants to treat the city as his prey and get back all the things that should belong to the Chamber of Commerce. This is black. The Yu Group's next plan is called "City Hunter".

But before the plan is launched, to use a classic saying, that is.

Now the entire northwest of Shanxi has become a mess.

After Xia Feng's arrangement, Nanfeng returned to Notting City to take charge of the overall situation as the president of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce.

afternoon.

Xia Feng had a long conversation with Ogur, the big boss of Black Steel, at the barbecue restaurant.

First of all, there is the issue of the cost of this operation. This is the first cooperation between Black Feather and Black Steel. For the sake of ACE, Ogur will not charge the operation fee this time. However, the loss of ammunition, travel expenses and food expenses will The wind wants to be reimbursed.

Xia Feng waved his hand.

"No problem, Lao Gu, just tell me how much it is and I'll put it together for you."

Ogur was not polite to him. He picked up the calculator from the table and counted "Didi Didi Didi" for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand to make a six.

Xia Feng picked up the teacup and took a calm sip.

"Six million, that's okay. I know Originium ammunition is expensive, but I can still accept it."

Ogur shook his head.

"No, it's 60 million."

"puff!"

Ogur put the calculator on the table.

"The consumption of ammunition alone this time is 64 million. I turned down two missions in order to come to Victoria, and this does not include travel expenses. Forget it, I don't need you to round it up for me. I will give you a zero. You Just give me 60 million."

Even if Xia Feng gets slapped in the face, he won't be able to act like a fat man this time.

Black Steel dispatched a total of 40 people this time, and they were all armed with pistols. Each person only had a few rounds of bullets at most, and the more than 60 million "crackling" were all shot away?

Ogul shook the tea sprayed on his arm by Xia Feng.

"Xia Feng, you don't think I'm trying to trick you, do you? Go and find out for yourself how much an Originium bullet costs. If I give you 60 million now, you can't even buy it. Believe it or not."

"Okay, I believe it."

There was no way Ogul could lie to him, even if he didn't understand ACE, his brother would understand, but the price was too expensive. No wonder even Vina didn't dare to look for Black Steel at the beginning. This was not a war, it was a fight for money.

But, the money is still worth spending, let alone 60 million, Xia Feng will still spend it even if it is doubled several times. As long as you get this cow, you can get as much milk as you want.

Xia Feng shouted towards the finance room at the top of his lungs.

"Nancy, spend 60 million."

"No money."

"How many are there now?"

"There is no 60 million, the most I can spend is 600 yuan."

This is the truth. Black Feather's finances have been emptied out due to the development of medical equipment, and the finances of the Notting City Chamber of Commerce are still in a mess. The exact amount of money has not yet been calculated, but Xia Feng is not worried, this amount is definitely indispensable.

"Lao Gu, I don't have the money yet. Don't worry. I'll give you a penny as soon as I figure out the account."

Ogur replied cheerfully.

"No problem, I'm not in a hurry."

The cooperation with Black Steel International is not a one-time deal. This kind of airborne troops with strong combat power and efficient execution is an indispensable strategic partner for Xia Feng. Money is not an issue. I’m afraid you can’t find such a trustworthy one if you have money. people.

Later, Xia Feng chatted with Ogur about some strategic cooperation matters.

Now that Origin Stone bullets were mentioned, Xia Feng couldn't help but feel curious.

"Lao Gu, where did you buy your Originium gun?"

"Of course I bought it from the Sakota people, the guys with the halo on their heads, but outsiders can't buy it if they have money. We at Black Steel have special channels."

Guns are a unique weapon of the Sakota people. Now all the guns in the world come from the Rutland region. Xia Feng knows this.

Even guys like Black Steel who are extremely talented in combat can only control pistol-type guns after a lot of training. Only the Sakota people can master those large guns.

Xia Feng is not interested in rare weapons like guns. If he had no strength in the past, he might want to get one for self-defense, but now for him, this kind of control is difficult and the lethality is only so much. As it turned out, he really wasn't interested. Not only him, but everyone in Black Feather probably didn't need it either.

However, his focus was not on the gun itself, but on its ammunition.

"Ogul, do you also purchase your ammunition from Rutland?"

Ogur thought for a moment.

"Only part of it is that the ammunition imported from Rutland is of high quality, but the price is also ridiculously expensive. Although we don't make blunderbuss, Black Steel has also been working hard to independently produce Originium bullets in recent years. Now we have our own In addition to cold weapons, the military factory can also produce Originium bullets in small quantities."

Although Xia Feng was surprised that Heigang actually had its own arms factory, considering Heigang's financial resources, this was not too surprising.

"Lao Gu, since you have to produce Originium bullets, you must be in short supply of Originium."

"Of course, source stones are in short supply no matter which country they are in."

Xia Feng continued to ask tentatively.

"In addition to the Source Stone, do you still lack any rare raw materials?"

"What ingredients?"

"For example. Light manganese ore."

Ogur's eyes lit up.

"Do you have access to light manganese ore?"

After talking later, Xia Feng learned some information.

Light manganese ore is an important industrial raw material that is needed by any factory that involves metals, and black steel's military factories are no exception.

Victoria can produce hundreds of thousands of tons of light manganese ore every year. In addition to domestic consumption, it will also be exported to surrounding countries. Of course, there is also smuggling like the Freddo Chamber of Commerce.

However, there are certain restrictions on the scope of this export. The surrounding countries include Casimir, Letania, Sami, Vaifan, Syracuse, Minos, etc. The farthest and farthest is Savagon, and Smuggling by sea is basically transported to Bolivar, and only rarely reaches Rem Billiton.

Because the cost will increase exponentially if the distance is too long, and the risks will become greater and greater, Victoria’s light manganese ore will not be transported to Colombia no matter what.

Colombia is a big industrial country and a technological powerhouse. Although they also produce light manganese ore locally, in a country like this that is developing like crazy, no matter how much you come, it will be consumed quickly.

Light manganese ore has always been a scarce raw material in Colombia. The output in surrounding areas cannot meet the supply at all. All sources are basically monopolized by the government. Private companies can only obtain it through smuggling channels. Of course, this phenomenon has only appeared in recent years. .

Black Steel's military factory is built in Colombia. Light manganese ore is not the most important raw material for them. However, although it is not as important as high-grade steel, it is still very scarce.

At this point, the results become clear.

Hapi City, where Xia Feng is located, is a paradise for light manganese mines. Although it is now completely controlled by the Liye family, Xia Feng feels that it is his thing.

In fact, the biggest reason why it couldn't be shipped to Colombia before was not a cost issue, but a strength issue. To put it bluntly, I just didn't dare.

Whether it's the Haimen Gang or the Fredo Chamber of Commerce, the weight of this three-acre area around Victoria is nothing. If you dare to put meat into other people's mouths, large foreign gangs will want to kill you in their territory. It's as simple as squeezing a mosquito to death. If you are targeted, you will lose both your life and money.

However, it would be different if there was a strong enough partner in Colombia. Except for the vacuum period at sea, there would be someone to escort us before departure and after arrival, so this would not be a problem.

After listening to Xia Feng's words, Ogur showed a scheming look.

"Xia Feng, how much can your mine produce each year?"

"I don't know exactly. Apart from what was handed over to the Victoria royal family, there must be at least tens of thousands of tons left."

"so many?"

Xia Feng looked at Ogur.

"Well, do you think something happened?"

"I think something is going on."

Regarding the cooperation issue of light manganese ore, we need to consider it in the long term. The best we can do now is to give Ogul a thorough explanation. Before that, he must first rectify the old fox of the Liye family.

Finally, Xia Feng had a small request for Ogur.

"Lao Gu, I want to hire two employees from your Black Steel."

"Hire staff?"

"That's right, don't you Black Steel provide security? Just think of me hiring bodyguards. Don't worry, I don't want your core members. I only want your two newcomers from Black Steel, Franka and Razer."

Ogul curled his lips.

"You are quite good at picking. These two newcomers are the best among all the newcomers in our Black Steel. Their combat prowess even surpasses those of the veterans."

"Hey, I want these two people."

Ogur thought for a moment.

"Are you looking for a long-term employment?"

"Yes, long term."

"The price of long-term employment is very expensive. In addition to security, if you have to go on combat missions, the price will be calculated separately."

"It doesn't matter. I'll keep these two people. It doesn't matter how much they cost. I'll transfer them to you later."

Ogur did not agree immediately, but continued.

"According to our Black Steel regulations, if it is a long-term employment, it must be approved by the employee. To put it bluntly, they must identify with you as their employer and be willing to stay."

Xia Feng stretched out his neck to look at the door of the barbecue restaurant. Seeing his appearance, Ogur also turned his head and followed his gaze.

In front of the barbecue stove, Razer squatted on the ground holding several skewers of chicken wings and eating them with a red face.

At the bottom of the steps, Franka was holding a skewer while she was having a heated discussion about swordsmanship with the bandaged Hongdao and Lagouzi. As she spoke, she made two gestures with the skewer.

"Lao Gu, do you think they would disagree?"

Ogur turned around.

"Well, I think there's no need to ask."

In this way, the Black Feather "gang" welcomed two new temporary members, Franka and Razer.
